Strengthening Practice and Learning through Interactive Training

SPLIT is a 36‐month initiative led by a consortium of prominent universities and legal practitioner training bodies from Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Italy. Designed to enhance the digital capacity of EU justice professionals, the project offers a comprehensive training program that addresses six thematic areas across three key legal domains. In the realm of Fundamental Rights, SPLIT promotes the digitalisation of justice to ensure effective judicial protection and inclusive access, while also focusing on the correct application of EU data protection law in judicial procedures. In Civil Law, the project equips practitioners with the necessary expertise to implement EU rules governing the platform economy—exemplified by the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act—and to prepare for forthcoming regulatory changes aimed at digitalising cross-border judicial cooperation. In Criminal Law, SPLIT is committed to strengthening the digital investigative skills required to combat online hate speech and hate-motivated crimes, alongside supporting the adoption of advanced systems like the e-Evidence Digital Exchange System to facilitate secure cross-border legal assistance. Targeting judges, prosecutors, their judicial staff, lawyers, and bailiffs, the project is built on a foundation of flexibility. Training activities are meticulously tailored to meet the daily professional needs of participants, delivered through interactive, accessible formats that include face-to-face sessions, blended learning, and fully online modalities. Through this innovative and adaptive approach, SPLIT seeks to forge a digitally proficient judicial community capable of navigating and shaping the evolving landscape of justice in Europe.
